Excellent photos to go along with Warrior Elite

I bought this book as a supplement to Dick Couch's book, Warrior Elite. I wanted to see the photos of class 228, as told by Dick Couch in the book. Great book, excellent photos.

HOW TO BE A U.S. Navy SEAL - Reveiw

This book is about class 228 doing the BUD/S.(Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL). I thought this sounded like a very interesting and imformative book. It was very interesting because it went into detail of what the SEALs do for training, weapons,etc. What I really liked about it is that it went into great detail about what the phases were. The third phase has alot of information on what weapons they train with. The M4, Mk-75 hose charge, Rocket Launcher and C4 explosives sound really cool. I thought that was very informative. Those things are what kept me entertained while I read the book. Another interesting and very fun part of the book was that there were alot of photos of the SEALs doing their training. That is one of the reasons that I gave this book four stars. Another reason is that it went into detail of what the SEALs had to do to quit the class or keep up with the rest of the team. The other two reasons are that it told me about the guns and explosives they use during training and in the battlefield, and that the days that were harder and easier. Such as, "the only easy day was yesterday" It sounds very tough to be a navy SEAL but one of the coolest jobs in the world. I would reccomend this book to anyone looking for something good to read or looking for information about a really cool career.

a companion to the Warrior Elite

If you're a SEAL fan and have read The Warrior Elite then this is a great companion to the book. It's not a book you read though - this one's all photos and a bit of text. The pictures of SEAL training are the best, actually, I know of NO OTHER book that has as many pics of BUD/S training. You see all the pics of what Dick Couch wrote about in Warrior Elite. Funny thing is that you see the guys from that BUD/S class because their names are written on their clothes but the author makes absolutely no mention of the people in the photos. Another reviewer said the pics were "old and outdated." What?! They're all the pics that were NOT used in Couch's book and are from one of the latest BUD/S classes, the class that Couch wrote about. Couch's Warrior Elite isn't a picture book - this one is and it's great.

Very Interesting

Finally, a complete book on Navy SEAL basic training. More than stories from bystanders, this book has pictures of everything a potential SEAL goes through. Somehow, it seems more real this way. Good job by the authors.
